Matchett quoted in CNN on the Iran war’s threat to desalination plants and data center investment in the Gulf

On March 30, GeoStrategy Initiative assistant director Ginger Matchett was quoted in “Trump helped build the Middle East’s AI ambitions. Could his war break them?” for CNN on the risk to data center investment because of the US-Israel-Iran war. She explained how the war is leaving data center investment up in the air because protection of data centers to date has largely focused on preventing cyberattacks, not drone or missile attacks physically damaging the infrastructure.
